Chapter Seventy-One: Changing Makeup
Hua Bushi has indeed been staring at this great beauty up and down since Zhuo Yiwen approached, it is completely a picture of Young Master Lang Dang indulging in beauty, and when he was spotted by Shen Ying'er, he couldn't help but blush, revealing a sneering look.
At this time, I heard Wu Yinghao say: "This is not a place to chat, Miss Zhuo, you will accompany Hua Gongzi and go to the 'Happy Island' with us!"
Zhuo Yiwen said: "The general has an order, and the little woman should obey it." It's just that Yiwen's costume and makeup are a little inconvenient, can you please ask the adults and Hua Gongzi to wait for a while, Rong Yiwen went to the backstage of the theater to change her clothes, and then came out to accompany her. ”
Wu Yinghao said: "Miss Zhuo's clothes are also very good-looking, it doesn't matter if you change your book or not." But if you want to change, it's okay for us to wait. Miss Zhuo should move quickly, don't ask Hua Gongzi and me to wait too long!"
Zhuo Yiwen thanked him and gave another salute, then turned around and walked back to the theater.
Waiting can be divided into many kinds.
For men, waiting for a peerless beauty to change her clothes will never be the most uncomfortable one. While waiting, you can at least imagine what kind of clothes that beautiful woman will wear to come out, and what kind of style it will be when she comes out. If you think about it this way, you won't get bored, and the more you think about it, the more interesting it becomes.
It's just that if you wait too long, you still won't feel good, after all, most men's patience is not very good.
After a full two pillars of incense, Zhuo Yiwen has not come out yet, Hua Bushi still seems to be very relaxed, but General Wu can't wait any longer.
He had been pacing back and forth at the gate of the theater for more than 20 laps, and Zuihou finally stopped and instructed the soldiers next to him: "You go in and see, Miss Zhuo's clothes have been changed, tell her to come out quickly!"
The pro-soldier should claim that when he was about to walk towards the gate of the theater, Zhuo Yiwen had already appeared at the door.
Seeing Zhuo Yiwen again, all the men's eyes suddenly straightened. Even General Wu, who had run out of patience just now and was sparkling above his head, the anger in his heart dissipated without a trace in an instant.
The wait for these two pillars of incense is definitely worth it!
The green silk on her head was coiled, and she formed two fist-sized buns on both sides of her head, tied up with two red ribbons, and the short straight hair on her forehead swayed slightly, looking playful and cute. This is a little girl's hairstyle, but it is a little more coquettish on Zhuo Yiwen's body, which is very interesting.
She was completely plain, and there was no trace of fat powder, but on the contrary, her cheeks were as delicate as warm jade. Under the two willow eyebrows, the spring waves between the bright eyes linger, so that the man's eyes will be deeply immersed in it as soon as they make contact, and they can no longer be pulled out.
And on her body, she was dressed in a short suit! The upper body was a fiery red tight silk shirt, a short skirt that was not longer than the knee, and the lower body was wearing a pair of red silk sprinkling pants and a pair of blue and black calfskin boots. A golden silk soft cigarette belt was tied on the slender waist that was not grasped, tied into a bow shape, and the remaining silk hung down at his side, fluttering in the wind.
Before Zhuo Yiwen came out, everyone thought that she would draw her eyebrows and eyes, make up carefully, wear a floor-length dress, with gorgeous gold beads and jade ornaments, and dress up as a delicate and lovely lady. Because for a big beauty like her, that outfit seems to be the most suitable.
But no one thought that she would dress herself up as a little girl, not only did she not wear a piece of jewelry on her body, but also did not apply fat powder, and only appeared in a tight-fitting suit. This soft fiery red light suit outlines Zhuo Yiwen's slender figure even more, and it looks heroic and sassy when worn on the body, full of fatal temptation.
At this time, not only Hua Bushi, but even Wu Yinghao's eyes were reluctant to move away from Zhuo Yiwen's body, until Shen Ying'er couldn't bear it anymore and coughed lightly a few times, and the two of them barely came back to their senses.
Being stared at by a man like this, Zhuo Yiwen's face couldn't help but flush, and said: "Yiwen saw that General Wu and Hua Gongzi both came on horses, so they changed into light clothes so that they could ride together, but I didn't expect it to make the general and Gongzi smile." ”
Wu Yinghao said with a smile: "Very good! Very good! Miss Zhuo really looks good in any clothes!"
After waiting for Zhuo Yiwen, Wu Yinghao ordered someone to lead a horse for Miss Zhuo to ride, and the group no longer stayed, and rode on the street towards the "Happy Island".
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Happy Island" is not an island, nor is it in the water.
"Happy Island" is underground.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, gambling was a felony punishable by "cutting off hands", and the involvement of court officials in gambling was an additional crime. For gamblers, the most severe punishment is not only the confiscation of all property, but also the adult children and grandchildren of the family are punished with hard labor or even sent to the frontier to serve in the army.
However, even with such a heavy sentence, it is still impossible to ban gambling among the people.
Because, "gambling" is one of the human nature.
"Happy Island" is the most famous gold cave in Changsha City, and it is also the largest casino. The lobby of this casino is more than 100 zhang long and wide, with a height of three zhang, supported by dozens of marble columns, during which the decoration is luxurious and brilliant. There are dozens of private rooms on the corridors behind the lobby, which is also a rare and quiet place.
Not many people know who the owner of "Happy Island" is, but everyone knows that this casino is supported by all the gangs in Changsha City, and even has people from the government to act as backstage. Gambling here is very safe, and you will never be caught "chopping off" or confiscating your family wealth to be sent to the army.
Even if someone really "cut off his hand", it must be because he can't afford to pay off the gambling debt, and it has nothing to do with the laws of the imperial court.
There are many ways to gamble money on "Happy Island", such as betting, bone dice, pai gow, and even cockfighting, dog racing and other novel ways to play. As long as you have money in hand, you are sure to find a gambling game that interests you here.
If you win money in the gambling game, you are not afraid that you will have nowhere to spend it. Next to the lobby of the "Happy Island" casino, there is a restaurant, where you can eat famous dishes from all over the world, and the taste is absolutely authentic, because the "Happy Island" invites famous chefs from various provinces to cook the dishes. And the wine sold here is also the most haode in Changsha City.
If you want to spend the night here, of course, you can also have a flower hall bedroom after the casino. Although the girls here are more expensive, and the prices are much higher than those in the brothels in the city, if they win a lot of money, it will not be too painful to spend some money on them.
The entire casino is built underground, and the entrance is a very inconspicuous small building on the corner of the street.
If you don't know here, if you only see the wooden sign on the roof of the building that says "Happy Island", you will definitely think that this small building is just a third-rate restaurant. In fact, there are indeed a few tables in this small building, selling wine and rice.
Although there is the support of the gang shili, gambling is a serious illegal act after all, and it should not be too public. Therefore, a little superficial work still needs to be done.
Wu Yinghao is familiar with "Happy Island" and has obviously been here many times. Outside the building, he threw the stirrup off the horse, threw the reins to his own soldiers, and walked into the small building with Hua Bushi and others.
The little guy who welcomed the guests in the building also knew General Wu, and immediately greeted him with great hospitality.
According to the rules of the casino, swords and blades are not allowed in the house. Wu Yinghao untied the waist knife and threw it to the little guy, ordered a few personal soldiers to stay outside, and walked to the inner room of the small building with Hua Bushi and others. In the middle of the inner room is a large square hole, and a bluestone staircase is wide and leads to the ground, which is the entrance to the casino.
After walking down dozens of stone steps, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and a huge hall appeared in front of them. The lights and candles in the hall are brilliant, and the people are noisy, and it is very lively.
Gambling and prostitution are an important way for gangs to make money, Hua Bushi and Shen Yinger are both the main people of the same faction, and they are certainly no strangers to casinos. In fact, one of the largest gambling houses in Wuyang City is located on the site of the "Evil Dog Gate".
But for the first time I've seen a casino as large as "Happy Island", Hua Bushi has seen it for the first time. To build such a magnificent hall underground, and the many rooms and facilities around the hall, is so large that it would not have been possible to build it without millions of taels of silver. The gap between the gambling house in the "Evil Dog Gate" territory in Wuyang City and the "Happy Island" is like a thatched house than a palace!
Of course, it will not be ordinary people who can make such a big deal. Hua Bushi couldn't help but feel a little curious about the identity of the boss behind the "Happy Island".
In the middle of the lobby, there are dozens of large rosewood tables, and many gamblers sit around the tables, shouting and cheering. At the chief seat of each table there is a signer, and the wooden box placed in front of him is filled with slender Qiankun lots, and the bets on these tables are "bets".
Hua Bushi wanted to come forward to watch, but Wu Yinghao grabbed him and said, "This bet is not fun, let's go over there and roll the bone dice, and I won more than 100 taels last time!"
Wu Yinghao pulled Hua Bushi through half of the hall and came to a table of eight immortals that was long and long. There were already three or four gamblers sitting at the table, and in the middle of the table was a silver platter with a blue and white porcelain bowl with three jade dice in it.
There are two ways to play the bone dice, one is similar to the "bet", that is, the dealer who sits on the top of the dice rolls, and the player who sits on the top of the two to a certain point in advance, if you win the jackpot, buy a loss of ten, you can also bet on the "double pair", "seven stars", "scattered stars" and other special combinations, bet on the loss of money in the multiplier is different.
Another way to play, is the banker, the player each roll the dice to compare the size, if the banker rolls a greater number of points than the player or the same as the player, then win the player's bet, otherwise the banker loses money. This is known as "all-you-can-eat dice".
Wu Yinghao's gambling method is, of course, "eat the dice".
